Hearing Xiao Ya's words, both Little Qiqi and Little Jia were confused.
"Alright, stop crying both of you, or Papa will get worried."
Little Jia as she patted their backs.
"Hmm."
But that could not stop her mind from thinking about what Xiao Ya had just said.
She had also felt that what Little Qiqi just said would not be said by her to Xiao Ya.
Even if Little Qiqi did want to tell Xiao Ya to never tell about it to anyone, that would defiantly not make Little Qiqi angry to scold Xiao Ya.
And so far, she had never seen Little Qiqi talking in such a way.
Meanwhile, Feifei who was sitting on Little Jia's shoulder stared at Little Qiqi's back.
All this long, the little thing was sitting on Little Jia's shoulder and observing what was happening.
Just now, when she saw Little Qiqi scolding and getting angry, she had felt that it was similar to when Little Qiqi had told her that both of them would need o help her Papa to get out of something.
At that time, the way the little daughter of her master had said was similar to what she had just now.
And was completely different from her usual self.
Meanwhile, behind them, in the living room.
Grandma Yan stared at the turn leading to the kitchen.
She had not seen the girls cry, if not then she would have rushed to coax them.
But on her face, there was a deep worry and a sense of loss.
It looked as if she was hurt by something.
"They really are hiding something from me."
She looked at her palm which was completely white without any kind of dust or anything.
"You said that you have greased the gates, then where is the grease?"
She forced a smile as she remembered the words that Yuan Menh had said to her when he was holding Little Jia in her arm while opening and closing the gate with little to no effort.
After a moment, she took a ball-shaped ornament that was placed on the table and held it tightly.
The ball was made of steel and was held on the stand by three inverted triangles in place.
As soon as Grandma Yan held the ball of steel, she felt the cold metal ball and after trying to use some of her strength, she felt completely different from what it would normally feel to hold a ball of steel.
After taking a look at it while holding it in her other hand, her eyes squinted.
Not letting Grandpa Xiao know of anything, she kept the ball of metal in her pocket and walked to the bedroom where she would be resting.

After entering the kitchen, no matter how much the little girls tried to hide it, it was definitely not left unnoticed by Ye Qian.
Even if he would not want to, his usual sense of hearing was way too much for him to not hear the feeble sobbing and whimpering sounds.

Although he had heard a few words that the girls were telling to each other, they were just apologising and trying to stop each other from crying, as for the real reason, he would still have to know from them.
"Anything wrong?"
Although he knew that the girls would be trying to hide it from him, he still wanted them to know that he would never get angry with them for anything.
They were children, after all, and there would be many times when they would quarrel or tease or even make fun of each other.
But if he were to scold them for something like this, then it would only create fear in their hearts and not the real reason as to why they should not do so.
"Umm, Papa, Qiqi scolded Xiao Ya."
Walking to Ye Qian with her tiny steps, the little girl held her head down with a sorry look on her face.
One could clearly see that she really felt bad for doing so.
"Umm, why did you do that?"
Yuan Meng asked.
Of everyone here, she was clear that there was no way that the SCOLDING that Little Qiqi would do to her small sister would be anything but a scolding.
But right now, it looked a bit different.
It was Little Qiqi who had always wanted a sibling to play along with, especially a younger one, so Yuan Meng knew that the chances of Little Qiqi saying anything in anger to Xiao Ya was something that was nearly impossible.
"Mumma, Qiqi doesn't know, it was like Qiqi only wanted to tease Xiao Ya and also remind her to not say it in front of anything, but then, it was like Qiqi felt something and then Qiqi said those words."
The little girl was obviously holding her tears back.
Now that she thought of it, she understood how bad her little sister whom she had scolded would have felt.
And it was all because of her.
"Ahh, Qiqi, why are you crying now."
Little Jia held her and consoled seeing that Little Qiqi was crying.
Although the little girl had held her head low, but there were tears rolling down from the little girl's eyes and to the tip of her tiny nose which would then fall on the floor with a pattering sound.
Ye Qian's heart ached to see his daughter cry like this.
But there was nothing he could do right now than to let her accept what had happened.
"It's alright Butterfly, if you think that you didn't want to then there is nothing wrong."
Ye Qian walked to Little Qiqi and then squatted down while taking her tiny head in his palms and smiling gently.
Seeing the teary face of his daughter, ye Qian felt a stabbing pain in his heart as he wiped her tears carefully.
Xiao Ya didn't think that her elder sister was crying because she was scolded by her rushed behind.
